I make friends online and I like to make sure they are above 18- mostly cause the art I create is mature and I generally don’t like minors and don’t want to be near them. Lately my severe OCD has forced me to cut off all these friends cause even after they showed me ID, and birth certificates that it still was too much of a risk. I kept thinking it was never worth the risk. Well I kept one friend and I’m still terrified that they are lying. Sometimes I talk to them and I just feel sick then I feel guilty. They asked me to please not let them go too and now I feel like an awful person. I just look at their texts and I feel like “what if?” Or “what if I’ve always known they were a minor?” Or “I used to be comfortable talking to them- they could’ve been a minor!” And it drags me down so far I just really REALLY want to cut them off. I feel so miserable.
